Magical Song can provide Paul Blockley with another winner, although Si Belle and One Called Alice are also in with a shout. The selection won well last time out when he beat Hennessy Island at Southwell and he looks to be going the right way. The draw could have been kinder but he looks the percentage call in an open race. Si Belle has shown some fair form in maidens and she is certainly of interest here on her handicap debut. Seb Sanders is an eyecatching jockey booking and from a decent draw she can go well, although the market could provide a decent guide to her chance. One Called Alice proved she sees out this trip here last time and she was far from disgraced behind Bookiebasher Babe. She hails from a shrewd yard and is one to note, while Tapas Lad has the worst of the draw and is opposable. Magical Song looks the one to be with and gets the vote.
